Dydd Gwyl Dewi hapus!

Did you really want us all to know about the size of your leek?!

Hmm?!

Despite St. David being a teetotaller, I assume you won't be one tonight??

(or will you just stay in and watch the England friendly?.....be impressed, Neil, this is me actually knowing that there's a footy match on tonite!! :p)

:D

:p

to you and all the Welsh. Allthough I'm not sure if that can be with him being a waterdrinking patron. lol :D
Nevertheless have one on me.

Or, I should say, the Kenneth Branagh movie version of the Shakespeare play.

Right after the battle at Agincourt, there is a great speech about Henry's Welsh roots.

See it's not the polar ice caps melting that is going to raise the water levels in the oceans; it's all those Welsh daffys taking a leak and flushing at the same time.[b]LOL[/b] :^O

Kidding aside, a very Happy St.David's Day to you and yours. One thing about today, after hearing St.David was teatotal, I will be eternally grateful that the Scots chose St.Andrew, who was known to take a nip or three, as their patron saint, plus, if that weren't enough, we also have Bobby Burns day and he was a guy well known for knocking them back. When our days roll around, we will be more than happy to let you help us out, celebrating.

Funny coincidence, tonight at dinner, I partook of soupe au poireaux and there was creamed leek as the vegetable. I actually like leek, the vegetable but lets face it nothing gives relief like taking a leak.

Cheers Neil!!! (Visualize me taking a sip of scotch)

is that today is Ash Wednesday, which has enough clout to knock the Saint David's Day readings and prayers off the calendar.

May you and the all the rest of the Taffies enjoy it. And I use the term "Taffy" with affection.

The closest thing I have to Welsh ancestry is a grandmother from Cornwall, and I don't know who the patron saint of the Cornish is. Probably whoever invented the Cornish Pasty. :-)

and especially with the weather this damn cold!

St David's Day is just a day when some of us Welsh quietly celebrate being Welsh. I had a daffodil in a vase on my desk, changed my screensaver to the Welsh flag and refused to speak any English. As I don't speak much Welsh and nobody understands any, it made for a quiet day! :D

The only thing that most of us Brits, secular or otherwise, do with Lent is to celebrate "Pancake Tuesday" the day before, quite often with pancake races (don't ask!).

Neil :D
